data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/student-life\/having-fun-at-k\/student-organizations\/\">student organizations<\/a> took a cooperative approach to conservation this year by testing the theory that one person\u2019s trash can be another\u2019s treasure.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Environmental Conservation Organization (ECO) Club and Art Club got together to take recycling materials\u2014such as cans, plastic bottles, cardboard, newspapers, magazines, toilet paper tubes, plastic bags, egg cartons and more\u2014and express themselves in collaborative artwork for the sake of reducing waste.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Geneva Hannibal \u201926, Claire Kischer \u201926 and Gwen Crowder Smith \u201926 have guided Art Club since the beginning of the calendar year with their president, Sage Lewis \u201925, on study abroad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cArt Club is special to me because as a biology major, I won\u2019t regularly be taking art classes,\u201d Hannibal said. \u201cI really love art, and as a first-year student, Art Club gave me and my friends the opportunity, space, and materials to continue doing art in college. Art Club was described to me as a place for everyone to participate in the visual arts, especially for those who aren\u2019t in art classes.\u201d\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said Randa Alnaas \u201927 of ECO Club was among the first to approach Art Club about working together. Saying yes to her was a no-brainer.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLike most people our age, all three of us value sustainability,\u201d Hannibal said. \u201cI think the success of this will be that more students are interested in Art Club and ECO Club. We\u2019d love to see more people come to us with ideas like Randa did, even if it isn\u2019t for collaborations with other student orgs. Anything that gets students inspired to take on leadership roles or help with events is a success.\u201d\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Noah Pyle \u201925, a task force leader for ECO Club, said busy schedules prevented cooperation between the groups last year, but once a get-together was on the calendar, securing materials proved to be easy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"437\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/04\/Art-Club-ECO-Club-2-600x437.jpg\" alt=\"Art Club-ECO Club collaborate to make art\" class=\"wp-image-22192\" style=\"width:339px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/04\/Art-Club-ECO-Club-2-600x437.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/04\/Art-Club-ECO-Club-2-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/04\/Art-Club-ECO-Club-2-150x109.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/04\/Art-Club-ECO-Club-2-1536x1119.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/04\/Art-Club-ECO-Club-2-2048x1492.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Noah Pyle, a task force leader for ECO Club, said busy schedules prevented cooperation between the groups last year, but once a get-together was on the calendar, securing materials such as cans, plastic bottles, and cardboard proved to be easy.&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/04\/Art-Club-Eco-Club-6-533x800.jpg\" alt=\"Recycling materials collected for collaboration\" class=\"wp-image-22194\" style=\"width:368px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/04\/Art-Club-Eco-Club-6-533x800.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/04\/Art-Club-Eco-Club-6-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/04\/Art-Club-Eco-Club-6-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/04\/Art-Club-Eco-Club-6-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/04\/Art-Club-Eco-Club-6-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/04\/Art-Club-Eco-Club-6-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/04\/Art-Club-Eco-Club-6.jpg 1333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Randa Alnaas of ECO Club was among the first to approach Art Club about working together.
